Thanks Jim,
No they were not overly tight almost all the lugs needed to be tightened but when I got to these 2 I new something was wrong after I tried to tighten them and the wrench never "clicked" I thought the stud was stripped so I took the nuts off and that was when I saw what was happening. It was as if the nut sank into the aluminum,I didn't think that could happen. The guy must have been on his cell phone or something. I was using a Snap-on torque wrench by the way.
The aluminum that gets displaced by the nut recessing because of over torque should have caused a bulge around the perimeter...and should be very visible!
If it is not maybe vision did it in the mfg process....
Did you make sure that your lug nuts are all the same length..
hahaaaaa just asking in case!
Jim
They are all the same nuts. I will check for bulges but the way the wheel is made it may not show.
Just a thought,maybe it was caused when they put it on the balancing machine?
